2026-08-27 Alaska Vacation Day 6 - Turner & Hubbard Glacier
206 Photos
Turner Glacier in Alaska is unique because it surges rapidly every 5 to 8 years, moving at speeds up to 10 times faster than normal.
Unique Characteristics
•Frequent Surging: While most surging glaciers move quickly only every 15 to 20 years or even a century, Turner Glacier surges in a short 5-to-8-year cycle.
•Extreme Speed Changes: During a surge, its flow rate leaps from roughly 3 feet per day to an astonishing 65 feet per day.
•Scientific Importance: Glaciologists study this fast pace to understand ice speed limits and improve predictions for global sea-level rise.
•Location: It is a 21-mile-long tidewater glacier located in Disenchantment Bay near the massive Hubbard Glacier in Alaska.
Turner Glacier in Alaska is 21 miles (34 km) long, with a terminus (front edge) width of about 3.7 to 6 miles (6 to 9.6 km) wide.
Key Size and Physical Details
•Length: Flows southeast for 21 miles (34 km).
•Width: The face at the water is roughly 3.7 to over 6 miles wide.
•Starting Elevation: Begins at about 11,000 feet (3,353 m) on Mount Cook.
•Type: A tidal (tidewater) surging glacier located near Disenchantment Bay and Yakutat Bay.
Hubbard Glacier is North America's largest tidewater glacier, stretching 76 miles (122 km) long and measuring about 6 to 7 miles wide where it meets the ocean.
Dimensions and Scale
•Length: 76 miles (122 km) from its source at Mount Logan in the Yukon Territory down to Disenchantment Bay.
•Width: Roughly 6 to 7 miles wide at its terminal face.
•Height: Rises about 350 to 400 feet above the water line, with an additional 250 feet submerged below the surface, totaling around 600 feet at its face.
Key Facts
•Location: Situated in Wrangell-St. Elias National Park & Preserve near Yakutat, Alaska.
•Behavior: Unlike most glaciers worldwide that are retreating, Hubbard Glacier has been actively thickening and advancing for over a century.
•Activity: It is famous for dramatic calving events, where massive multi-story blocks of blue ice break off into the sea.

On day eight we slept in and then tasted the chocolate we bought the day before after which Andrea made an egg casserole for breakfast. Conner had a taste for hot wings so he ran to the store to buy boneless wings and some of us tried seven different hot sauces and rated them. We spent the afternoon packing up for our departure in the morning. We had dinner at Rowley Farmhouse Ales in Santa Fe before ending our day at the Inn & Spa at Loretto for a Flamenco dancing show by La Emi.

On day seven we went to Meow Wolf in the morning then we drove to Madrid New Mexico to have lunch at the Mine Shaft Tavern in Madrid, New Mexico which was the stand-in for the Red Pony Bar in the TV series Longmire. After lunch we walked down Main Street to Maggie's Main Street Diner where the movie Wild Hogs was filmed. Maggie's is the only Wild Hogs movie set still on main street. Maggie's Diner is NOT a diner, NEVER was a diner and NEVER will be a diner. It is a movie set built from scratch for Wild Hogs and before the movie it was a VACANT empty lot. It is now a souvenir and gift shop. After Madrid we went back to our house until it was time for us to head out to our evening adventure aboard the Sky Railway Burlesque Express at 7:30pm. The Burlesque Express departs and returns to the Santa Fe Depot featuring Zircus Erotique. Established in Santa Fe, NM in 2008, Zircus Erotique is New Mexico’s longest running burlesque company. Their style brings a mix of elements of dance, theater and performance art, neo and classic to their performances as a burlesque company. Zircus Erotique produces regular burlesque and variety shows in Santa Fe featuring performers from the Land of Enchantment and all across the country.

On day four Sue, Matt, Andrea and I met Becca and Conner at the house we rented in Santa Fe. After unpacking the cars we drove to the Cowgirl BBQ & Smokehouse for dinner. After dinner we drove to Canyon Road and parked the car. We enjoyed One of Santa Fe’s most beloved holiday traditions, the Canyon Road Farolito Walk on Christmas Eve. Thousands of farolitos cast a glow on the gardens, courtyards and adobe walls of the century-old buildings lining the road. Farolitos are little lights made out of paper bags, sand, and tea candles. In Spanish, the word farolito translates as “little lantern” and it is the preferred term in Santa Fe for the decorations that are referred to as luminarias elsewhere.

25 June 2024 Monday
Left Lincoln by 8:30 that morning knowing that there was another long day ahead. Eastern Nebraska and Iowa are about as interesting as Illinois to drive through. We stopped at a Culver’s east of Des Moines in Iowa.
We arrived back at Rick’s house just after 5:00 pm in one piece
No injuries, no car problems during the entire trip. A success!
Save for a few challenges, I believe that we all had a great time during the last great adventure.
Maybe forty-seven years on us all allowed for more time just hanging and looking out at the scenery rather than questing to climb one more peak to see what wonders it held. A challenge was trying to capture a Humming bird in flight rather than backpacking, camping and eating somewhat sub-standard fare.
Ten days, 2500.1 miles round trip brought us back to where we started, enriched by the experience.
Looking at the few pictures that I took on my phone camera, that good as they may be, they cannot capture the scenery that we saw every day. The vistas driving the dirt road up to “The Lost Creek Trail” were magnificent although the area experienced a burn many years before. It was growing back beautifully grasses to shrubs, to Aspens, to conifers.
What began as a wine fueled comment by Jim after Scottish fest “I’d like to do one more trip with you guys”, quickly (seemingly) became a reality.

24 June Monday 2024. Travel day
Another beautiful morning in Colorado, sat out and enjoyed the morning. We still had the car loaded and checked out by 9:00
We took a different route out of Estes Park heading east. The highway followed a river twisting through a canyon with cliffs on both sides, again was a really pretty drive. Every turn offered a different scene. Knowing that the views will be much different soon, we cherished that drive. After some time, the landscape opened up, we suddenly found ourselves in wheat and hay fields. Back to the prairie. Each stop along the way out of Colorado and into Nebraska brought higher temperatures. When we reached Lincoln Nebraska, it was 100 degrees out. Stopped again at the Hampton Inn in Nebraska, cleaned up and decided to go back to the “Down the Hatch” for the world’s best catfish.

23 June, Sunday 2024
Cooked a big breakfast at the cabin to use up some of the food, no hiking plans for today.
Drove into town to shop. Oddly found what we needed at the first shop. Stopped in a few others and walked along the river walked for a bit. There was a nice place for lunch in town. We needed one more trip to the Safeway for supper that night to make a special last night supper.
Once again, Tim fired up the grill and cooked Pork Chops along with mashed potatoes and green beans (all fresh this time) pared with some Cooper’s Hawk Old Vine Zin. A tribute to our last trail supper from forty-seven years earlier. (This was much better).

2024-06-22 Colorado Vacation - Day 8 - Hike to Bear and Nymph Lake in Rocky Mountain National Park - Eat at The Post Chicken & Beer Restaurant - The Shining Tour at the Stanley Hotel
354 Photos
22 June, 2024 Saturday
Neither bear, nor elk at the cabin this morning, plan to go back to the park. The plan was to drive to the Bear Lake area. It is a very popular destination in the park, parking at the lake is difficult. There is a remote parking area and shuttle busses to take groups to the lake and back again. The hike around the lake is not very long, but it is spectacular. However, it is very crowded, it was hard to take pictures without a bunch of yahoos in the way.
While there we took a side hike up to Nymph Lake. There was a constant stream of people going up the trail and back down again. So many people were unbelievably rude. One nearly found themselves checked out of the way. (People, they are the worst)! We constantly stepped aside for downhill hikers as is hiking etiquette, only to be passed by others climbing behind us. Made it to the lake and took some photos. We travelled down the same way as the climb up. Going down, nobody moved out of our way. They all but shouldered their way past. It was all very rude.
Had supper at the carriage house restaurant adjacent to the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park. It was the inspiration for the Overlook Hotel featured in The Shining. Some of the scenes from the mini- series were shot in the hotel, we had tickets for the Shining tour later that night. The tour was great, the hotel was beautiful and fun to see the inside of the place. Tomorrow is our last day in Colorado. Having a great time, but will be glad to be home. No hiking planned, we’ll go into town to pick up some souvenirs to take home.
As much as I hate to admit it, I believe that my backpacking days are behind me. Hiking in the mountains is one of my very favorite things in life, but it’s really stressful on an old body.

2024-06-21 Colorado Vacation - Day 7 - Elk by Cabin & Alpine Visitor Center in Rocky Mountain National Park Colorado
376 Photos
June 21, 2024 Friday
Planned to drive up to Rocky Mountain National Park today. Jim and Bill were again sitting on the deck when we saw a Black Bear cub stroll between the cabins where the elks were last night. It just walked between the cabins and disappeared in the front parking lot. There was a different cow elk and two twin calves this morning. There is fencing around the planted trees at the resort to keep the elk from browsing all of the foliage.
We arranged for park entry passes for the days that we were in Estes Park. By mid-morning, we were in the queue to enter the park. It’s hard to grasp the shear numbers of visitors that go to the park every day. The Park Service limits the amount of people that can enter every day, but it is still crowded. The plan today was to drive up to the Alpine Visitor’s center and then hike up to the 12,000-foot summit. Tim walked up ahead as if on a garden stroll. Bill, on the other hand had a really hard time breathing and climbing the whole way. It was definitely worth the climb once the summit was reached. Fortunately, everyone was patient with my slowness.
We feasted on steaks and baked potatoes that night with Coopers Hawk wine. What a day!

June 20, 2024 Thursday
Left the Pike cabin in the morning heading to Estes Park. Stopped a tavern in town for lunch, then walked to the lodge at the resort for a drink since we could not move in until 4:00 pm. The cabin was very nice, 2 bedroom 2.5 baths, big deck. Went grocery shopping again. This time with a better plan. Tim grilled brats on the grill that night. It was really nice having cooking facilities at both places so we only ate out a few times. We were sitting out on the deck at dusk and Jim noticed a cow elk and her calf in a grassy area between our cabin and the next. She seemed unfazed at our presence. The calf looked ok, but the cow was limping. They are so big, it’s hard to grasp. The calf, still in spots and nursing was the size of a mature White-Tailed Deer that we are accustomed to seeing. They bedded down for a while until some idiot rode by on a bike and spooked them away. It was exciting to us to be so up close and personal to an elk since they are foreign to us. In Estes Park, they are so numerous, it’s like seeing a squirrel in the yard.
The cabin was located on the big reservoir with a running path mostly around the perimeter. There were a lot of runners and dog walkers passing by, makes one out of breath just watching.

June 19, 2024 Wednesday
We awoke to find the day a little chilly (40’s) and overcast. Pike’s Peak normally observable was hidden in the clouds. We prepped for the hike and left late morning. The trail head was only twenty off miles (as the crow flies) from the cabin, but took nearly an hour and a half to drive there mostly on unpaved roads. The drive up was spectacular, we stopped often to take photos and take in the views. There had been an extensive fire through the area years before, but was reforesting nicely. It had been decades since we were there, but the area seemed entirely different. We decided that we were at a different trail head. It was a nice hike all the same. We walked in about a mile or so along a stream, it was a beautiful walk. We packed a lunch and stopped on the way down the mountain to eat.
The last of the rotisserie chicken was eaten that night. This was the last night in the Pike cabin, so we prepped for travelling up north the next day.

June 18, 2024 Tuesday
Tuesday morning found Rick sick as a dog in bed having spent a miserable night before. He had trouble breathing and was horribly congested. It was decided at that point that it would be better to forgo the Pike’s Peak trip and lie low at the cabin. Climbing to fourteen thousand feet would be a bad scene for Rick. In lieu of Pike’s Peak, we drove to Manitou Springs later that morning to revisit “Garden of the Gods” The day was sunny and bright this time, when we visited the area in 1977, it was rainy. Stopped at the visitor’s center, restaurant for a Bison burger. We walked a little bit and mostly drove through the park. Definitely a great place to see. Jim built a fire in the outside fire pit when we returned to the cabin. (See various pictures). The plan for tomorrow is to return to “The Goose Creek Scenic Area”.

The cabin was advertised as being on acreage, but there were neighbors within view. That being said we thought that we would walk around the property. That didn’t take very long before it was decided that the property lines were pretty close. Since we were at elevation we took it easy. Later in the day we drove back into Woodland Park to see the sights. Oddly enough, most places were closed on Monday. We walked around for a bit and returned to the cabin to read and relax. Tim grilled big burgers out for supper that night. The next day was the train trip to the top of Pike’s Peak already planned, but parking had to be determined as it was limited in the immediate area of the station.

June 16, 2024 Sunday
Left Lincoln about 9:00 or so after watching an older man trying desperately to scoop up a bowl of very thick oatmeal into his bowl.
We arrived in the small town near the Pike’s Peak area house in late afternoon. There was a Walmart in the town of Woodland Park, so we stopped there to pick up groceries. One would think that four adults after spending two days in the car would have made some kind of food plan before we got to the store. Alas, that was not the case. We just began to roam through the grocery section of the Walmart without a clue as if to say “I don’t know what to get, my wife does the shopping”. Except for Jim, he started to grab items with abandon. After some time, we started to get an idea of what we needed like a three-pound package of bacon and three rotisserie chickens for supper that night.
We found the cabin after some adventuresome driving glad that it was June and not February. The cabin was beautiful, had three bedrooms, a big great room and wraparound deck facing Pike’s Peak. We settled in for the night, thankful for the safe trip so far and glad to be there.

2024-06-15 Colorado Vacation - Day 1 - Hampton Inn Lincoln Nebraska
30 Photos
To understand this trip, one must go back to a time when we were quite young and got by with very little.
It all really began in the summer of 1976. I don’t remember where the initial idea or logistics arose, but a plan was hashed out that we would take a backpacking trip in the Shawnee National Forest in southern Illinois. Tim Onori would drive his new in process conversion van, taking Rick and Bill back to school for the fall semester. Mitch Winn and Tim Jaeger were to accompany the group as well. Seemed like a good plan to young men on their own that basically plan by the seat of their pants.
Many things were learned on that trip, not the least of which was to plan more. We made it back to Carbondale safely with a great experience at the end of the week.
The following Summer 1977, Rick, Tim Onori, Jim Storey and Bill started talking about taking another trip at the end of the summer. Several years previous Rick and Tim Jaeger hiked in the Pike National Forest, Goose Creek Scenic Area outside of Manitou Springs Colorado. That seemed to be a really exciting destination for a wild adventure. We had maps and compasses (and knew how to read both), along with all of the rest of the required gear already so we just needed to plan trail food and a route for a few days on the trail. That whole adventure is another story in itself. The following summer not to be outdone with Colorado we decided to go yet farther west into the far reaches of Montana and hike Glacier National Park.
Forty-six years, grown families, and much wear and tear later we were once again gathered on a Saturday afternoon after Scottish fest at the Storey’s house when Jim suggested that it would be fun for the four of us to take “One More Adventure” while we are still together and “able” to get around. It didn’t take too much convincing to make a valid argument for a new adventure. We would conquer the Goose Creek again, this time being wiser not get lost for days on end.
Since we are all north of sixty-five, we were not backpacking and sleeping on the ground. The next morning Rick and Jim had found a house to rent in the Pikes Peak area for several days and another in the Estes Park area both in the front range of Colorado. We just needed to put money down to hold a reservation for the following summer of 2024. We all agreed that both places looked fabulous.
June 15, 2024 Saturday
We left on Saturday morning at 9:00 in a very full car heading west. In the months up to departure, Rick asked that each of us would compile a list of fifty songs to make a road trip play list. This way everyone had input in the playlist.
Since driving straight through is not reasonable (or necessary) any longer, we decided to stop for the night about halfway to the first destination in Colorado. We stopped at a motel in Lincoln Nebraska. We had supper that night at a restaurant called “Down the Hatch”. It was a good place with “world’s best Fried Catfish” according to Tim.

2023-10-09 Becca and Conner Wedding - Waterton Park Canada Trails - Lakes - Falls
466 Photos
Matt and I drove the second road through the park to get to a couple of trails. The first trail was the Red Rock Canyon trail which was less than a half mile walk. The second trail from the same parking lot was the Blakiston Falls trail which was about a 1.2 mile round trip trail to a beautiful waterfall. We drove back to the lodge and picked up Sue and drove to Cameron Falls at the edge of town. Finally we ate dinner in the hotel because it was the only place open for the dinner in the town. The town basically closed down for the season and our hotel was the only hotel still open for rooms and dinner. During our stay in Canada we only drove 47 miles.
2023-10-08 Becca and Conner Wedding - Visitor Center - Hike - Lunch - Lakeshore
372 Photos
In the morning Sue, Matt and I drove to the visitors center in town to check out the current information on the park. Matt and I dropped Sue off at the hotel and then Matt and I hiked the Bear’s Hump trail. The trailhead wasn’t far from the hotel and the trail was 1.5 miles with an elevation change of 738 feet. We learned that in 2017 a forest fire destroyed most of the trees in the park as well as the lodge we are staying in, the visitors center and much of the town. At the end of the trail right near the parking lot was a nice size heard of Big Horn Sheep. After the trail we picked up Sue and had lunch in town at the Lakeside Chophouse and then walked along the water through the town. Later that afternoon Sue, Matt and I drove one of the two roads through the park to Cameron Lake. Most of the town was closed so we ate dinner in the hotel as did much of the visitors in the area.

Lunch at the Park Cafe
1.5 Hour Scenic Boat Cruise on St. Mary's Lake Including a Stop at Baring Falls
The tour begins at the Rising Sun boat dock, centrally located on St. Mary Lake, approximately five miles from Glacier National Park’s east entrance at the town of St. Mary. Conveniently accessible right off of the Going-to-the-Sun road, and offering vastly different views on the water not visible from the road, the boat will take you on a close drive-by of the famed Wild Goose Island and provides epic, 360 degree views of the surrounding peaks. You’ll see Sexton Glacier, tiny islands, the remnants of Great Northern Railway President Louis Hill’s private cabin, and brightly colored mountainsides.
We then drove back to Glacier Park Lodge and returned our car rentals for our last nigh in the park.

left the Many Glacier Hotel at 9:30 am to hike to Iceberg Lake. We started the 9.6 mile round trip hike to Iceberg Lake at 10:00 am which began at the Iceberg Ptarmigan Trailhead located west of the Many Glacier Hotel. We followed the Ptarmigan Trail through the forest 2.6 miles to Ptarmigan Falls. Past the falls, we came to a trail junction. We took the Iceberg Trail left. We ascended 1200 feet to 6100 feet, hiking over 2.2 miles along the south side of Ptarmigan Wall to Iceberg Lake. We arrived at Iceberg Lake at 1:10 pm, where we spent the next 1 hour and 20 minutes eating lunch and admiring the scenery. The threat of a storm rolling in over the mountains caused us to pack up and start the 4.8 mile descent back to our cars. Jim, Cassie and Trevor left first and ran into a hail storm on the trail. The rest of us had rain for the first 2 miles, after which the sun came out again. We arrived back at our cars at 5:45 pm and then drove the 15 minutes back to Many Glacier Hotel.
